statement to which the record relates and the date and

time that the record was filed; and

(B) in the case of collateral which is a cooperative

interest, the real property tax designation associated

with the real property in which the cooperative unit is

located as assigned by the local real property tax

assessing authority; or

(2) if the record was filed in the filing office described in

record, it shall maintain another record of the financing statement
which complies with subsection (a).
